Project Description Figure 1. Honeywell logo [1] Design, analyze and prototype an oil chip detector housing. Client: Honeywell Knowing the quality of the oil without having to manually check Jacob Vedder September 16, 2019; Honeywell 2
Background Engine systems wear and release debris which oil chip detectors collect and notify users of. Commonly used on larger vehicles such as aircraft and helicopters. Installed in the oil line, perpendicular to the flow direction. Figure 2. Engine sensor and housing [2] Figure 3. Engine housing sensor [3] Figure 4.

Benchmarking Housings for on-line sensors aren't commercially available. In-line sensors are generally self-contained. Current benchmarking will include pros and cons of each design/model Modularity Universal fitments Maximum efficiencies Jacob Vedder September 16, 2019; Honeywell 4
Benchmarking -Allen Aircraft Products, Inc Figure 5. Complete in-line design by AAP with strainer attached; specifically for aircraft engines. [5] Ilenn Johnson September 16, 2019; Honeywell 5
Figure 6. An exploded CAD view of a Swiss-built Meggitt Sensor. Notable innovations include variable pulse outputs to differentiate between chip sizes as the oil flows through the center.[6] Benchmarking Meggitt Sensing Systems Ilenn Johnson September 16, 2019; Honeywell 6
